Dont see that. If he comes, we'll hardly give him up for that - he'll surely be a 100m player in a few years. Should we get him, he's the type of player we should keep well into his thirties.
Sure, that's fine and should be the mentality, I guess I was just thinking of ways he could be convinced to come while not breaking his bond with Inter, and their club still looks good in the eyes of their supporters.

I totally get what you mean, but it's just not how a big club should be working. If we can't get him on our terms, we have to move on.

Why? Window does not open till the 10th. What's the rush?
Not sure what's worse the fact you thought we were going on pre season tour 3 weeks after the season ended, or that you were expecting to have all our business done by then.


I mean Conte is pretty demanding but c'mon dude.

Well having read up a little on Bastoni and his fiancee I am more hopeful. They are both 23, they also seem to run a fashion brand together - she is something of an entrepreneur as well as a model. Obviously Milan is a great base for them, but London has to appeal. (I'm so glad we are a London club).

Their daughter is only a few months old, but you could argue (and I choose to) that if you are going to make a move like this for a few years, it isn't bad if the child is very young. They could be back in Italy for her schooling, after Alessandro as won a few trophies with the mighty Spurs.

I think it's going to happen :)

Apparently this bloke is inter itk. Pinch or mountain of salt though obviously. But if you check the follow up tweets they say the bloke is usually accurate.

We shall all choose to believe this and Inter will channel their inner-bouncer and boot Bastoni out of the club.

looking back, he seems to have called Conte resigning, Lukaku/Hakimi transfers, and Inzaghi appointment days before media/official announcements. But also seems he has got some things wrong (certain transfers)

That’s probably good enough for me……………or he’s just got a few lucky guesses correct.

Got to be really tough for Bastoni, I don't think it's an issue with Spurs, more just that he is an Inter boy. Imagine being 22 years old and breaking into the Tottenham team and becoming a regular leading player. It's all you've ever dreamt of and despite any team coming in for you, you're just a spurs fan and player. Think he certainly doesn't really want to leave and probably hadn't even thought about it until it came up now so its just going to take a little adjustment.

Think it is still doable, we just need a little bit of persistence and patience.

i have a bad feeling about this, getting a player that is "forced" out will probably never settle. i think it is risky :(
Emerson settled fine after being "forced". Romero was reportedly not interested in joining us either. Both settled well within the squad. I don't have any issues.
